Minivan speaker for phones

post from Ubergizmo on 17 November 2009 02:24:40 AM. © Ubergizmo

If you think that your handset needs a cellphone charm, how about getting this minivan speaker that can also keep your little one occupied with faux "Vroom vroom!" sounds while you're driving an actual minivan? Each minivan measures 9cm long, and will playback tunes from your handset's media player. It has a built-in battery, so no worries about this sapping juice from your already taxed handset. They retail for a mere $12 a pop, consuming far less gas than an actual minivan.

Milky Way alarm clock

Henrik Amberla's Milky Way clock takes a different route compared to other timepieces, where it also doubles up as an art object on your beside table. Definitely a conversation starter, this will also be able to wake you up to something nice to look at each morning. Meant to reflect on the duality and unity of the sleep/wake cycle, this alarm clock allows you to kick in the snooze function by simply turning the device. In order to set the alarm, another turning motion is required.

BlackBerry Internet Service down

BlackBerry Internet Service down

But not out - at least that's what we hope. The essential BlackBerry Internet Service, also known as BIS, is not working for a whole lot of people globally. This has been happening for a few hours already, and there is still no official announcement on why this outage has happened. We could even be looking at up to 80% of users being affected here. Do leave a comment if you're upset at this outage, leaving you with little choice but to do actual work in front of your PC instead blogging or updating your Facebook.

The Next Big Thing in TV and Video @ NewTeeVee

post from Ubergizmo on 17 November 2009 01:38:29 AM. © Ubergizmo

By Ravit Lichtenberg (blog) – This year, GigaOm’s NewTeeVee Live has explored TV Everywhere. In addition to general sessions, the conference featured 10 upcoming video startups—each providing a critical element of video and TV viewing puzzle. In Thursday's morning session, the first five companies present their predictions for TV and video:

Elemental Technologies (Sam Blackman, CEO)

The company (elementaltechnologies.com), which is headquartered in Portland, raised 7.1M Series A funding in June 2008 and has burned $2M in 3 years with 27 employees. Customers include the CDC—the number one consumer of video, as well as Adobe and Microsoft.

Blackman’s prediction:

Unlike other forms of media, the internet will not destroy the Pay TV business models.
Consumers will want a high quality, seamless, video experience across multiple platforms: mobile, laptop, TV.
People are going to be willing to pay for it to achieve the ease of use across platform that will pay for the infrastructure

Like this custom ‘Han Solo frozen in carbonite’ desk created by Tom Spina Designs. [...]
